I absolutely agree. Nowadays people don't "go to the cinema just to go to the cinema". Including me. Film that I watched at cinema in 2009: 4 each month. Film that I watched at cinema in 2019: 4 each year (AE - Joker - F2 + SW9 in december). My most anticipated this year: Stranger Things 3

"The theater I'm going to is giving Frozen 2 13 showtimes on a freaking average work/school day." I agree, but I have see my UCI had 5 (w/t/f) and 7(s/s) showtimes in presale until Sun 24 while today are 12 for all five days, maybe distributor have request for more space. In any case I don't see many tickets sold. "Beauty and the Beast had an opening thursday of 845K, on its way to a 6.9M 4-day opening. Considering F2 should have a similar anticipation..." Working in business involved (not directly in cinema industry), I can say anticipation for F2 (in term of estimates for merchandise sales) is 10x BatB (and way bigger than TLK). For example Frozen 1 DVD is still in weekly top ten after 5 years (see below). Toy stores are on fire. Frozen items are everywhere. It is the atomic bomb of marketing. However I dont' know how this can impact on ticket sales, if will open at 5, 10 or 20, because I follow cinema boxoffice only for fun. Top Ten 11/17.11sett. 46/2019 Classifica titoli aggregati.

In cinemas I agree. Out of cinemas (in term of merchandising sales) Frozen is the biggest cinematic (overall) brand WW follow by Minions (that are the only strong cinema brands born in 2010's). TLK and TS have been very strong at the time the original opened but now are outdated (merchandise speaking). SW is bigger only in America. Marvel and Harry Potter also are strong WW but aren't originally cinematic. Also Disney Princess brand sell a lot.

Japan is a totally different market. Evening in Sunday is weaker than Saturday ( unless the next day is holiday) so at the end could be under. In any case Corpse is also reporting about this is probably the biggest (true) single day ever there.

Sunday full day same time/location Blue (50%-) 88 shows Orange (50%+) 33 shows Red (80%+) 63 shows Average saturation (assuming 25%/65%/90%) = 54% Saturday real saturation (TOHO) = 52% (predicted 59%) This is because evening/night shows were less saturated, so today I have counted the full day and it seems a bit bigger (+2%) By the way these number should be take as a trend because TOHO is the 24% of mimorin2014 Saturday admissions (109k/454K) but only the 19% (208K/1076K) of seats, that means TOHO cinemas are a bit more saturated than the others chains and the overall saturation will be lesser (52% vs 42% Saturday)

12% Euro 5% LA 6% Other

Markets in which F2 isn't out yet are the 23% of F1 total.

I (and Disney too) have to point that TLK 2019 isn't listed among animated movies but as "live action remake" or

59% overall means 10M+day. Too Good. This is indicative of a very big increase from friday in 9-17 frame, 3x at least. But in evening could be much less.
